sorry if this is a stupid question... so if i'm having my dad be my cosponsor, he has to fill out the I 864 if hes listed in a different household, but the I-864A if he's listed in the same household?

Correct. If you have some income, but fall slightly short and you live with your dad, then his income can be added to your I-864 under household member income. Then he does an I-864A. If you don't have any income (or very little), then it's better for him to do his own I-864, even if you live in the same house with him.

It's not a stupid question at all, we got denied at our visa interview because we did not fill in the I-864A. So, if your dad is sponsoring you and DOES NOT live at the same address with you, he will fill in the I-864 but if he has someone who files jointly with his taxes and they live at the same address, they need to fill in the I864A for that person also, it is to show that your actual Joint sponsor makes enough, and it is not just the combined income of the two people.

The same thing happened to us! In fact, I think you may have been one of the couples at the same interview! What an infuriating process...
